Gimlet cocktail bar. Gimlet is a vintage cocktail bar that was opened in 1979 on Carrer del Rec in the Born area of Barcelona by Barcelona's King of Cocktails Javier de las Muelas. Gimlet moved a few years ago (the old location is now a different cocktail bar called Cocktail Bar Juanra Falces) and today you can find some of Barcelona's best cocktails at the new Gimlet location on street Santaló, 46 in the "zona alta" upper area of Barcelona in the Sarria St Gervasi district. Gimlet is a stylish place for cocktails before or after dinner. The elegantly uniformed and experienced barmen know all the cocktails recipies by heart, so just ask for any internationally famous cocktail and they will shake or mix it for you in seconds. You won't get a modern style shocktail full of plastic foliage and umbrellas, just a really good drink. Popular with cocktails fans of all ages and walks of life. Javier de las Muelas also owns Dry Martini in Barcelona which is ranked among the world's best cocktail bars.
